The contractor has completed the sound wall and the new striping. The striping was done using thermoplastic which involves melting plastic onto the road, making the lines last much longer than paint. The thermoplastic comes in thin sheets that have small embedded glass balls to increase retro reflectivity. If the asphalt is in good condition you simply lay the sheets down and heat them up with a propane torch. The plastic melts and adheres to the asphalt. Electrical work on the signal is scheduled to begin August 8th at 8:00pm; traffic control will be in affect but one lane for all directions of travel will remain open.
